They can enter your home using the gap created by ill fitting doors and it is especially true with car garages where you will find a gap of ¼ tp 3/8 inches. Mice can hide in lots of places in a house as its architecture is designed such to provide hiding places naturally. Mice come in to your home to seek food and shelter. When they find a place in your home they will use your household items to build nests. Shelter and building materials are abundantly available in human homes and mice don’t require permission from you to borrow them. They take everything useful from your home that they use for good measures such as building a nest for their babies. It is very good for mice but not for you because they first damage your property to make nesting materials. For example they will shred papers or documents, tear clothing and take pieces of them to build nests. Of course they don’t know these are costly items and you might have spent lots of money to buy them in first place. Damages can be overwhelming if you let mice settle and thrive because in a year you will have several hundred mice in your home that you cannot handle. The best advice for you is to call professional mice exterminators like BBPP the most sought out Rodents Control Services Vaughan and get rid of their nest.
